With the number of othe languages - Etruscan, Oscan, etc - current in the Italian peninsula, it figures that the Romans must have needed a name for their own language pretty early on; they hadn’t the option of considering their own language as human speech and everything else as barbarian blah-blah-blah.

Talking of barbarian blah-blah-blah, I have been told that the root meaning of the Irish word for the English language, béarla, is, essentially, blah-blah-blah. Can anyone confirm or rebut this?
